COMMERCIAL  FEEDING  STUFFS. 


THE  LAW  REGULATING  THEIR  SALE. 

Section  4591  of  the  general  statutes  of  Connecticut  so  defines 
the  term  "concentrated  commercial  feeding  stuff"  that  it  covers 
practically  all  feeds  excepting  the  following: — hay  and  straw, 
whole  seeds,  unmixed  meal  made  directh^  from  any  one  of  the 
cereals  or  from  buckwheat,  and  feed  ground  from  whole  grain 
and  sold  directly  from  manufacturer  to  consumer. 

Section  4592  requires  that  every  package  of  concentrated  com- 
mercial feeding  stufif  shall  bear  a  statement  giving  the  name 
and  address  of  manufacturer  or  importer,  the  number  of  net 
pounds  in  the  package,  the  name  of  the  article  and  the  per- 
centages of  protein  and  fat  contained  in  it. 

Section  4593  requires  every  manufacturer,  importer,  agent  or 
seller  to  file  with  this  station,  upon  request,  a  certified  copy  of 
the  statement  above  described. 

The  penalty  prescribed  for  violation  of  the  foregoing  sections 
is  not  more  than  $100  for  the  first  offeiise  and  not  more  than 
$200  for  each  subsequent  offense. 

Section  4595  authorizes  this  station  to  take  samples  from 
any  manufacturer,  importer,  agent  or  dealer  in  a  prescribed 
fashion  and  requires  this  station  to  analyze,  annually,  at  least 
one  sample  of  each  brand  which  it  has  collected  and  to  publish 
these  analyses  in  station  bulletins,  "together  with  such  additional 
information  in  relation  to  the  character,  composition  and  use 
thereof  as  may  be  of  importance." 

The  dairy  commissioner  is  charged  with  the  enforcement  of 
the  provisions  of  these  sections  of  the  statutes. 

In  compliance  with  the  requirements  of  this  law  the  following 
report  on  feeding  stuffs  has  been  prepared. 

SAMPLING    OF    COMMERCIAL    FEEDING    STUFFS. 

During  the  fall  of  1904.  Mr.  V.  L.  Churchill,  the  sampling 
agent  of  this  station,  visited  fifty-six  towns  and  villages  of 
this  state  and  took  three  hundred  and  thirty-seven  samples  of 


4  CONNECTICUT    EXPERIMENT    STATION,    BULLETIN    I47. 

feeds  ill  the  way  prescribed  by  law.  These  samples  have  been 
examined  chemically  and  microscopically  and  the  results  appear 
in  the  following  pages  with  appropriate  discussion. 

There  are  also  given  thirty-three  analyses  of  feeds  which  were 
sent  to  the  station  for  analysis  by  individuals.  Seven  other 
samples  of  feeds  have  been  sent  for  microscopic  examination 
by  other  stations. 

To  make  it  easier  to  understand  these  analyses  and  their 
discussion,  the  following  explanations  are  prepared  : — 

EXPLANATIONS    OF    ANALYSES    OF    FEEDING 
STUFFS. 

An  analysis  gives  the  percentage  amounts  of  Water,  Ash, 
Protein,  Fiber,  Nitrogen-free  Extract,  and  Fat. 

Percentage  Amount  is  the  amount  in  100.  If  the  protein  in 
a  feed  is  17.5  per  cent.,  every  100  pounds  of  that  feed  contains 
17.5  pounds  of  protein ;  and  since  a  ton  is  twenty  hundred 
pounds,  a  ton  of  the  feed  will  contain  twenty  times  17.5,  or 
350  pounds  of  protein. 

Water.  However  dry  a  feeding  stuff  appears  to  be,  it  always 
contains  a  considerable  and  variable  quantity  of  water  which 
cannot  be  seen  or  felt,  but  which  can  be  driven  out  by  heat. 
The  amount  of  water  thus  present  in  feeding  stuffs  is  con- 
stantly changing  with  the  temperature  and  moisture  content  of 
the  air  about  them,  and  according^  no  very  close  comparison 
of  different  feeds  is  possible  unless  the  proportions  of  water 
they  contain  are  known  and  comparison  is  made  on  perfectly 
dry  or  water-free  substance. 

Ash  is  what  is  left  when  the  combustible  part  of  a  feeding 
stuff  is  burned  away  by  heating  to  faint  redness  in  a  current  of 
air.  Besides  sand,  usually  an  accidental  impurity,  the  ash  con- 
sists chiefly  of  lime,  magnesia,  potash  and  soda,  combined  with 
chlorine  and  carbonic,  sulphuric  and  phosphoric  acids. 

Protein  is  a  general  term  which,  as  used  in  this  bulletin, 
includes  all  the  nitrogenous  materials  of  a  concentrated  feeding 
stuff,  whatever  their  character  may  be.  In  such  feeds  the  pro- 
tein substances  for  the  most  part  bear  a  general  resemblance  in 
composition  and  properties  to  the  animal  proteins,  egg  albumin 
(white  of  Qgg),  flesh  fibrin  (lean  meat),  and  milk  casein  (curd). 
It  is  from  this  protein  of  the  food  alone  that  the  animal  can 


EXPLANATIONS    OF    ANALYSES    OF    FEEDING    STUFFS.  5 

make  albumin,  fibrin  and  casein.  The  nitrogenous  materials 
are  the  most  costly  and  the  most  valuable  ingredients  of  con- 
centrated commercial  feeds,  which  should  be  bought  chiefly 
for  the  protein  which  is  in  them. 

Nitrogen-free  Extract,  sometimes  called  Carbohydrates,  in- 
cludes starch,  gum,  sugar  and  pectin  bodies.  They  are  readily 
extracted  from  the  feeding  stuff  by  water  and  dilute  acid. 

Fiber  is  the  essential  constituent  of  the  walls  of  vegetable 
cells  and  is  seen  in  a  nearly  pure  state  in  cotton  fiber  or  paper 
pulp.  It  is  the  most  insoluble  part  of  the  vegetable  substance 
and  of  subordinate  value  in  the  ration. 

Ether  Extract  includes  fat  oil,  solid  fat,  wax,  chlorophyl  (the 
green  coloring  matter  of  plants),  and  other  coloring  matters, 
in  brief  everything  which  can  be  extracted  from  the  perfectly 
dry  feeding  stuff  by  absolute  ether. 

Regarding  the  uses  of  the  above-named  parts  of  feeds : 

Water  and  ash  need  not  be  considered,  for,  while  indispensa- 
ble to  stock,  both  are  abundantly  supplied  in  other  ways  than 
in  commercial  feeds. 

Protein  is  an  essential  ingredient  of  the  food  of  every  animal, 
because  from  no  other  substance  can  the  waste  of  muscles,  ten- 
dons and  the  working  tissues  and  membranes  be  renewed :  nor 
can  the  casein  of  milk,  the  albumin  and  other  constituents  of 
the  egg,  nor  new  body  substance  of  any  sort  be  obtained  by  the 
animal  from  any  other  source  than  protein.  The  necessary 
elements  from  which  the  animal  organism  constructs  these  sub- 
stances are  yielded  in  available  form  only  by  protein.  Without 
protein  the  animal  can  live  but  a  short  time. 

Fiber  and  the  nitrogen-free  extract,  on  the  other  hand,  cannot 
serve  for  building  up  the  muscles  and  other  parts  of  the  growing 
animal  and  cannot  directly  restore  the  waste  and  wear  of  those 
parts  of  mature  animals,  because  they  are  of  a  very  different 
nature.  They  contain  no  nitrogen,  an  element  which  enters  into 
all  the  animal  tissues  (proteins),  to  the  extent  of  some  sixteen 
per  cent,  of  their  dry  matter. 

Fiber  and  the  nitrogen-free  extract  cannot  restore  the  worn- 
out  muscles  or  membranes  of  the  animal  any  more  than  coal 
can  be  made  to  renew  the  used-up  packing,  bolts,  valves,  flues 
and  gearing  of  a  steam-engine.  Proteins  are  to  the  ox  or  the 
man  what  brass  and  iron  are  to  the  machine,  the  materials  of 
construction  and  repair. 


6  CONNECTICUT    EXPERIMENT    STATION,    BULLETIN    I47. 

But  fat,  fiber  and  nitrogen-free  extract  are  to  the  animal 
very  much  what  coal  and  fuel  are  to  the  steam-engine.  Their 
consumption  generates  the  power  which  runs  the  mechanism. 
Their  burning  (oxidation)  in  the  blood  of  animals  produces 
the  results  of  life  just  as  the  combustion  of  coal  in  the  fire- 
box of  the  steam-engine  produces  the  motion  and  power  of 
that  machine.  For  this  combustion  in  the  system,  digestible 
fat  has  more  than  twice  the  value  of  digestible  nitrogen-free 
extract. 

There  is,  however,  this  difference  between  the  engine  and 
the  animal :  the  former  may  be  stopped  for  repairs ;  the  latter 
may  run  at  a  low  rate,  but  if  it  be  stopped  it  cannot  resume 
work.  Hence  the  repairs  of  the  animal  must  go  on  simulta- 
neously with  its  wastes.  Therefore,  the  material  of  which  it  is 
built  must  admit  of  constant  replacement,  and  the  dust  and 
shreds  of  its  wear  and  tear  must  admit  of  escape  without 
impeding  action.  The  animal  body  is  as  if  an  engine  were  fed 
not  only  with  coal  and  water,  but  with  iron,  brass  and  all  the 
materials  for  its  repair,  and  also  is  as  if  the  engine  consumed 
its  own  worn-out  parts,  voiding  them  as  ashes  or  as  gas  and 
smoke.  Proteins,  or  the  blood-  and  tissue-formers,  are  thus 
consumed  in  the  animal,  as  well  as  the  fat,  fiber  and  nitrogen- 
free  extract  or  fuel  proper.  The  fact  that  proteins  admit  of 
consumption  implies  that  when  the  proper  fuel  is  insufficient, 
they  may  themselves  serve  as  fuel.  Such  is  the  case,  in  fact. 
But,  nevertheless,  the  two  classes  of  substances  have  distinct 
offices  in  animal  nutrition,  and  experience  has  proved  that  for 
each  special  case  of  animal  nutrition  a  special  ratio  of  digesti- 
ble proteins  to  digestible  fat,  fiber  and  nitrogen-free  extract  is 
the  best  and  most  economical,  and,  within  certain  limits,  is 
necessary. 

THE   USES    OF   ANALYSES    OF    FEEDING    STUFFS. 

These  uses  are  several.  First,  by  an  analysis  compared  with 
the  average  of  others,  any  buyer  of  a  feed  can  see  whether  it  is 
of  the  usual  quality.  Thus  on  page  32,  the  analysis  of  cotton 
seed  meal.  No.  13047,  compared  with  the  average  of  seventeen 
analyses  given  on  the  same  page,  shows  that  its  quality  is  far 
below  average  as  regards  protein,  the  most  valuable  ingredient. 


COTTON    SEED    MEAL.  .     / 

Secondly,  by  an  analysis  compared  with  the  manufacturer's 
guaranty  the  buyer  can  see  whether  in  composition  the  feed 
meets  what  is  claimed  for  it.  Thus  on  page  41  the  analyses  of 
Chicago  gluten  meal  show  that  the  feed  contains  on  the  average 
about  4  per  cent,  less  of  protein  than  is  called  for  by  the 
manufacturer's  guaranty. 

Thirdly,  an  analysis  often  shows  clearly  whether  or  not  the 
feed  is  adulterated  and  may  indicate  also  the  form  of  adultera- 
tion. This  use  is  fully  illustrated  by  the  discussion  of  adul- 
terated wheat  feed  on  page  14  of  this  report. 

It  also  makes  clear  the  composition  of  mixtures  which  are 
sold  under  names  which  either  convey  no  meaning  or  convey 
a  false  impression. 

Fourthly,  comparison  of  analyses  of  a  number  of  kinds  of 
feed  with  their  prices  will  greatly  help  in  deciding  whether 
any  one  of  them  is  worth  to  the  feeder  what  is  asked  for  it. 
Too  often  the  prices  of  feeds  bear  no  relation  to  their  real 
feeding  value. 

Lastly,  the  chief  use  of  these  tables  by  feeders  should  be  as 
a  guide  to  the  skillful  compounding  of  rations  for  farm  ani- 
mals. How  this  is  done  cannot  be  briefly  explained  within  the 
limits  of  a  bulletin.  A  knowledge  of  the  principles  of  cattle 
feeding  is  essential,  which  should  be  gathered  by  studying  books 
which  treat  of  the  principles  of  cattle-feeding  and  of  the  art  of 
compounding  rations. 


DISCUSSION  OF  THE  ANALYSES. 

The  microscopical  and  chemical  work  in  connection  with  these 
analyses  has  been  done  under  Dr.  Winton's  direction,  and  with 
the  cooperation  of  Messrs.  Bailey  and  Andrew  and  Miss  Barber ; 
the  results  have  been  prepared  for  publication  and  discussed  by 
the  director.

After  ginning  and  linting  to  remove  the  fiber,  the  hulled  and 
ground  cotton  seed  is  pressed  to  obtain  cotton  seed  oil.  Cotton 
seed  meal  is  made  by  grinding  the  hard  cakes  from  which  the 
oil  has  been  expressed.     All  of  the  samples  examined  this  year

have  the  guaranty  required  by  law,  and  only  the  following  sam- 
ples fail  to  meet  their  guaranties  by  more  than  0.7  per  cent,  of 
protein.

Sample  13047,  from  Hunter  Bros.  Milling  Co.,  St.  Louis, 
contains  an  excessive  amount  of  hulls  and  is  neither  choice  nor 
prime  meal. 

By  the  rules  of  the  Cotton  Seed  Crushers  Association, 
"choice"  meal  must  contain  at  least  8  per  cent,  of  ammonia, 
equivalent  to  41.19  per  cent,  of  protein,  and  "prime"  meal 
must  contain  at  least  8  per  cent,  of  ammonia,  or  if  from  the 
South  Atlantic  States  7^  per  cent,  of  ammonia,  equivalent  to 
38,62  per  cent,  of  protein. 

The  average  percentages  of  protein  and  fat,  as  determined  at 
this  station,  and  the  average  prices,  quoted  by  retailers,  at  the 
time  the  samples  were  drawn,  have  been  as  follows  for  the 
last  six  years :

The  average  price  in  1904  has  been  a  little  lower  than  in 
the  years  1902  and  1903,  and  the  average  percentage  of  protein 
a  little  higher. 


Cotton  Seed  Meal,  sampled  and  sent  by  Purchasers.

Cereal  Co.,  contained  38.12  per  cent,  protein  and  8.58  per  cent, 
fat;  43  per  cent,  protein  was  guaranteed.  11315,  light  meal, 
and  11314,  dark  meal,  sold  to  T.  A.  Stanley,  New  Britain,

38.80  per  cent,  of  protein. 


linseed  meal.  9 

Linseed  Meal. 
Analyses  on  pages  32  and  33. 

"Linseed  Meal,"  "Oil  Meal,"  and  "Flax  Seed  Meal"  are 
trade  names  for  ground  flax  seed  from  which  more  or  less  of 
the  oil  has  been  removed.  By  the  "old  process"  the  oil  is 
partly  removed  by  pressure,  leaving,  however,  from  5  to  10 
per  cent,  of  oil,  "fat,"  in  the  meal.  By  the  "new  process"  the 
oil  is  so  far  extracted  with  naphtha  as  to  leave,  usually,  less 
than  2y2  per  cent,  in  the  meal.  New  process  meal  is  more 
uniform  in  composition  and  contains  more  protein  than  old 
process  meal. 

The  following  brands  fail  to  meet  the  manufacturer's  guar- 
anty by  more  than  0.7  per  cent,  of  protein :

All  the  samples  of  each  kind  analyzed  this  year  have  been 
of  fair  quality  and  unadulterated.  The  average  percentages  of 
protein  and  fat  found  in  linseed  meal  for  the  last  four  years, 
as  determined  at  this  station,  with  the  average  prices  at  the 
time  the  samples  were  drawn,  as  quoted  by  retailers,  are  as 
follows :

A  guaranty  of  38  per  cent,  protein  is  quite  too  high  for  the 
quality  of  new  process  meal  which  has  come  into  the  state  in 
the  last  two  years. 

New  process  meal  at  $27  to  $28  per  ton  deserves  more  atten- 
tion from  feeders. 

The  retail  prices  quoted  on  both  feeds  are  based  on  very 
small  sales.  Car  lots  are  quoted  at  this  writing  at  about  $2 
per  ton  higher  than  cotton  seed  meal. 

Heavy  demand  for  export  drove  up  this  price  of  old  process 
meal  at  about  the  time  the  samples  were  drawn.

Wheat  Products. 

These  are  by-products  in  the  manufacture  of  wheat  flour. 
Several  diflferent  processes  of  milhng  are  in  common  use,  yield- 
ing by-products  which  are  not  alike  in  composition.  The  pro- 
ducts made  from  winter  wheat  also  differ  in  composition  from 
those  from  spring  wheat. 

Wheat  Bran  consists  of  the  outer  layers  of  the  wheat  berry, 
which  are  dark  in  color  and  do  not  easily  pulverize. 

Wheat  Middlings,  as  found  in  the  feed  market,  consist  of 
inner  layers  of  the  covering  of  the  berry,  which  are  lighter  in 
color  and  more  easily  pulverized  than  bran,  and  of  other  parts 
from  which  fine  white  flour  cannot  be  made. 

Red  Dog  Flour  is  the  poorest  grade  of  flour ;  off  color,  con- 
taining bran  dust  and  often  sold  as  a  cattle  food. 

Many  mills  do  not  sell  bran  and  middlings  separatel}^,  but 
run  them  together,  often  with  other  waste  wheat  products, 
and  sell  the  mixture  as  "Mixed  Feed." 

With  few  exceptions  the  samples  of  wheat  feed  described 
in  the  tables  of  analyses  are  not  accompanied,  as  is  required 
by  law,  with  any  statements  of  composition. 

Bran  from  Winter  Wheat. 
Analyses  on  pages  34  and  35. 

None  of  the  lots  sampled  has  the  guaranty  of  composition 
which  is  required  by  law. 

Three  of  the  samples  contain  less  than  14  per  cent,  of  protein, 
and  in  so  far  are  of  inferior  feeding  value,  but  examination 
does  not  reveal  any  evidence  of  adulteration. 

Bran  from  Spring  Wheat. 
Analyses  on  pages  34  and  35. 

None  of  the  lots  of  spring  wheat  bran  examined  bears  the 
guaranty  required  by  the  state  law. 

The  New  Prague  flaky  bran,  13228,  the  Star  and  Crescent 
bran,  12977,  and  the  Washburn-Crosby  bran,  13 136,  contain 
less  than  14  per  cent,  of  protein  and  are,  in  so  far,  inferior  in 
feeding  value,  but  there  is  no  evidence  that  they  are  other  than

of  good  quality,  as  far  as  is  indicated  by  chemical  composition. 

Mixed  Feed  from  Winter  Wheat. 
Analyses  on  pages  36-39. 

Of  the  forty-two  lots  examined,  only  two  have  the  guaranty 
which  is  required  by  law;  numbers  13121  and  13159,  made  by 
the  American  Cereal  Co.  The  guaranty  in  each  case  was  17.75 
per  cent,  of  protein,  and  each  sample  contained  15.62  per  cent. 

All  of  the  samples  are  apparently  pure  and  of  fair  quality.

Co.'s  Royal  Mixed  Feed,  in  which  are  guaranteed  16.61  per 
cent,  of  protein  and  5.48  per  cent,  of  fat.  The  sample  analyzed 
fully  meets  this  guaranty. 

All  the  samples  are  apparently  pure  and  of  fair  quality.

This  table  indicates  that: 

1.  The  spring  wheat  products,  as  a  rule,  have  somewhat  higher 
percentages,  both  of  protein  and  fat,  than  the  winter  wheat 
products. 

2.  This  difference  is  rather  more  pronounced  and  constant  in 
the  case  of  middlings  than  in  that  of  either  bran  or  mixed 
feed. 

3.  The  percentages  of  protein  in  bran  are  rather  lower  than  in 
either  middlings  or  mixed  feed. 

4.  On  the  average  the  winter  wheat  products  sell  at  a  slightly 
higher  price  than  the  spring  wheat  products  in  spite  of  the 
higher  protein  and  fat  content  of  the  latter. 

5.  The  percentages  of  protein  in  all  the  wheat  feeds  have  been 
considerably  lower  in  1904  than  in  either  of  the  three  years 
immediately  preceding.  The  prices  have,  however,  ruled 
higher. 


AVERAGE   COMPOSITION    OF   WHEAT    PRODUCTS.  1 3 

The  spring  wheat  products  just  analyzed  represent  for  the 
most  part  the  crop  of  1903,  while  winter  wheat  products  are, 
probably,  of  the  1904  crop.  This  last  crop  is  stated  to  have 
been  of  poor  quality. 

Guaranties. 

Attention  is  again  called  to  the  fact  that  the  state  law  requires 
that  wheat  feeds  should  have  affixed  to  the  packages  a  guar- 
anty or  statement  of  the  percentages  of  protein  and  fat  in 
the  feed.  This  law  is  almost  universally  disregarded  by  manu- 
facturers and  by  the  jobbers  and  retailers  in  Connecticut. 

It  has  been  urged  that  wheat  feeds  are  staple  articles,  uniform 
in  composition  and  not  adulterated  and  therefore  that  no  guar- 
anty is  needed.  Biit  our  analyses  show  that  these  feeds  vary 
decidedly  in  composition  from  year  to  year  and  that  there  is 
considerable  fraud  in  the  sale  of  mixed  feed.  If  the  buyer 
can  get  no  guaranty  that  his  wheat  feeds  are  of  standard  quality 
and  if  they  are  commonly  adulterated,  he  must  drop  them  for 
the  gluten  feeds  and  dried  brewers  and  distillers  grains,  which 
are  more  constant  in  composition  and  with  which  a  guaranty 
is  given.

Wheat  Feed  containing  Stinking  Smut. 

Sample  12993  was  sent  with  the  note  that  the  cows  would 
not  eat  it.  The  protein  determination  showed  that  it  had  the 
average  amount,  but  Dr.  Winton  found,  on  microscopic  exam- 
ination, a  large  number  of  smut  spores,  identified  by  Dr.  Clinton 
as  those  of  the  stinking  smut  of  wheat.  This,  no  doubt, 
explains  the  refusal  of  the  cows  to  eat  it.  The  smut  is  not 
distinctly  poisonous  to  cattle,  but  they  often  refuse  feed  con- 
taining it. 

Spurious  "Mixed  Feeds/'  made  by  the  Indiana  Milling  Co.  of 
Terre  Haute,  Indiana. 

Two  samples  of  so-called  "Indiana  Mixed  Feed,  Winter 
Wheat,"  were  drawn  by  our  agent;  one,  13247,  from  stock  of 
L.  C.  Daniels  Grain  Co.,  Hartford,  bought  of  J.  H.  Cressey  & 
Co.  of  Boston;  the  other,  13004,  from  Abner  Hendee,  New 
Haven.  No  guaranty  or  statement  of  composition  was  given 
with  them  or  attached  to  the  bags.  They  have  the  following

The  above  are  made  up  of  mixed  feed, — a  term  everywhere 
used  in  the  trade  to  denote  a  mixture  of  wheat  products  onl}' — 
and  ground  corn  cobs,  a  material  of  greatly  inferior  feeding 
value. 

The  analyses  show  that  they  contain,  on  the  average,  4.%  per 
cent,  less  of  protein  and  nearly  twice  as  much  fiber  as  genuine 
winter  wheat  feed,  and  are  sold  at  retail  at  a  higher  average 
price  than  winter  mixed  feed.

Maize  Meal. 
Analyses  on  pages  40  and  41. 

Only  two  samples  of  maize  meal  were  found  on  sale  in  the 
places  visited  by  our  agent.  They  are  called,  respectively,  A 
Meal  and  B  Meal,  made  by  the  Buffalo  Cereal  Co.,  and  sold 
without  guaranty. 

The  B  Meal  contains  2  per  cent,  more  protein  and  4  per  cent, 
more  of  fat  than  the  A  Meal. 

No.  1 1305,  yellow  corn  meal,  sampled  and  sent  by  C.  Daniel 
Way,  Gilead,  contains  9.31  per  cent  of  protein. 

No  more  important  subject  connected  with  dairy  farming 
can  engage  the  efforts  of  farmers  and  of  this  station  than  the 
improvement  of  our  corn  crop,  both  in  yield  and  in  quality. 
Before  the  silo  came  in  as  a  necessary  part  of  the  dairy  equip- 
ment and  before  the  feeding  value  of  corn  fodder  and  stover 
was  generally  recognized, — corn  being  raised  chiefly  for  the 
ears, — we  had  in  this  state  many  varieties  of  flint  corn,  which 
were  perfectly  hardy,  had  been  bred  with  more  or  less  skill  for 
very  many  years,  and  yielded  shelled  corn  much  richer  in  protein 
than  we  can  buy  to-day.  Corn  meal  with  some  bran  was  the 
staple  feed  for  cows.  With  the  coming  of  the  silo  we  have 
sought  after  varieties  which  would  give  the  largest  possible  yield 
of  "roughage,"  stalks  and  leaves,  and  these  appeared  to  be  the 
southern  and  western  dents.  Our  smaller  flints  have  been 
neglected.  The  cold  summer  of  1903  was  disastrous  to  the 
corn  crop  and  it  is  believed  that  many  farmers  finally  lost  their 
crop  of  seed  of  these  proved  but  somewhat  neglected  flint 
varieties,  in  that  year.  Are  we  not  in  danger  of  parting  with 
a  birthright  in  letting  these  flint  varieties  slip  away  from  us? 

While  we  are  seeking  to  establish  some  leguminous  crop  to 
supply  the  present  lack  of  protein  on  the  farm,  we  need  also 
to  breed  some  of  these  flint  varieties,  naturally  rich  in  protein, 
to  a  still  larger  production  of  protein  and  also  of  stover. 

The  classic  work  of  Hopkins  and  others  at  the  Illinois  Station 
has  shown  that  this  is  quite  possible  and  has  shown  how  to 
accomplish  it. 

Starting  with  some  one  of  our  well-established  flint  varieties 
of  early  maturity,  in  which  it  would  not  be  difficult  probably 
now  to  select  ears  bearing  kernels  with  12  to  13  per  cent,  of 


1 6         CONNECTICUT    EXPERIMENT    STATION,    BULLETIN    I47. 

protein,  we  may  hope  to  secure  an  increase  of  several  per  cent, 
in  the  average  protein  content  of  our  crops  of  shelled  corn. 

Such  a  gain  would  be  of  immense  advantage  to  stock  feeders 
and  particularly  to  those  who  still  abide  by  corn  meal  as  the 
principal  grain  feed,  along  with  wheat  feed,  and  look  with  sus- 
picion on  all  concentrated   "forcing"    feeds. 

This  station  has  taken  up  this,  together  with  the  other  ques- 
tion of  increasing  the  yield  of  stover,  in  continuation  of  the 
work  on  the  corn  crop  which  it  has  done  in  past  years. 

Corn  Flour. 
Analyses  on  pages  40  and  41. 

A  single  sample  of  this  article,  sold  without  guaranty,  con- 
tains only  5.75  per  cent,  of  protein,  and  77.65  per  cent,  of 
extract,  which  is  chiefly  starch. 

Gluten  Meals. 
Analyses  on  pages  40  and  41. 

Two  brands  only  were  found. 

Chicago  Gluten  Meal,  made  by  the  Glucose  Sugar  Refining 
Co.,  is  guaranteed  to  contain  38.0  per  cent,  of  protein  and  3.0 
per  cent,  of  fat.  The  average  percentages  of  protein  and  fat 
found  are  33.83  and  3.74  respectively. 

The  amount  of  protein  in  the  meal  is  4  per  cent,  less  than  is 
guaranteed  to  be  there. 

Cream  Gluten  Meal,  made  by  the  Illinois  Sugar  Refining  Co., 
is  guaranteed  to  contain  35.5  per  cent,  of  protein,  and  3.0  per 
cent,  of  fat.  The  average  percentages  of  these  ingredients 
found  are  34.87  and  3.69  respectively,  so  that  the  meal  fairly 
meets  the  claims  made  for  it  as  regards  composition. 

Gluten  Feed. 
Analyses  on  pages  40-43. 

Six  different  brands  of  this  feed  have  been  examined. 

Buffalo  Gluten  Feed,  made  by  the  Glucose  Sugar  Refining 
Co.  of  Chicago,  contains  22.97  per  cent,  of  protein  and  2.89 
per  cent,  of  fat,  as  the  average  of  seventeen  analyses,  in  which 
the  protein  ranges  from  19.50  to  25.56,  and  the  fat  from  2.29 


GLUTEN    FEED.  1/ 

to  4.21  per  cent.  The  percentages  guaranteed  are  27  to  28  of 
protein  and  3  of  fat.  No  single  analysis  shows  as  much  pro- 
tein as  the  minimum  guaranty,  and  only  five  of  the  eighteen 
contain  the  guaranteed  amount  of  fat. 

The  same  discrepancy  between  guaranty  and  composition 
appeared  last  year  and  was  then  explained  as  probably  due 
to  the  greater  amount  of  white  corn  used  last  year  in  the 
glucose  manufacture,  which  caused  an  unexpected  fall  in  the 
protein  content.  This  might  serve  as  an  excuse  last  year,  but 
it  is  not  easy  to  see  any  excuse  for  the  continued  putting  on 
the  market  of  a  feed  which  does  not  in  any  case  meet  the 
representations  and  claims  of  the  manufacturer.  Otherwise 
the  Buffalo  feed  is  pure  and  of  good  quality,  as  far  as  can 
be  judged  from  chemical  analysis.

/.  H.  Gluten,  sold  by  the  Buffalo  Mill  and  Elevator  Co.,  is 
sold  without  the  guaranty  which  is  required  by  law,  and  is  of 
lower  grade  than  any  other  brand  of  gluten  feed  found  this 
year  in  the  Connecticut  market. 

Globe  Gluten  Feed,  made  by  the  X.  Y.  Glucose  Co.,  contains 
an  average  of  26.75  per  cent,  protein  and  3.33  per  cent,  fat, 
as  determined  by  analyses  of  fifteen  samples.  Some  of  the 
samples  bear  a  guaranty  of  27  per  cent,  protein  and  3  of  fat, 


1 8         CONNECTICUT    EXPERIMENT    STATION,    BULLETIN    I47. 

Others  of  26  and  2.5.  All  the  samples  fully  meet  this  lower 
guaranty,  and  all  but  three  substantially  meet  the  higher 
guaranty. 

Pekin  Gluten  Feed,  made  by  the  Illinois  Sugar  Refining  Co., 
does  not  meet  the  guaranty  of  protein  by  1%  per  cent. 

Queen  Gluten  Feed,  made  by  the  National  Starch  Co.,  has  a 
guaranty  of  25  per  cent,  of  protein  and  2.9  per  cent,  of  fat. 
The  single  analysis  does  not  meet  this  guaranty  in  either  par- 
ticular. 

Warner's  Gluten  Feed,  made  at  Waukegan,  111.,  is  sold  with- 
out the  guaranty  which  is  required  by  law. 

The  average  composition  of  the  brands  of  gluten  feed,  as

HOMINY    FEED.  1 9 

Buffalo  Cereal  Co.'s  Hominy  Feed  has  a  guaranty  of  10.5 
protein  and  8.5  fat.  The  average  precentages  found  in  six 
analyses  are  10.02  and  7.39  respectively. 

Chapin  &  Co.'s  Niagara  Hominy  Chop,  one  analysis,  fully 
meets  its  guaranty. 

Chapin  &  Co.'s  Green  Diamond  Hominy  Chop,  two  analyses, 
is  not  far  below  the  guaranty  in  composition. 

Cha-s.  M.  Cox  Co.'s  Wirthmore  Hominy  Feed  contains,  as 
an  average  of  seven  analyses,  10.39  P^^  cent,  of  protein  and  8.01 
per  cent,  of  fat.  The  guaranty  on  some  lots  is  10  and  7,,  on 
others  10^  and  7^.  In  all  cases  the  protein  guaranty  is 
substantially  met.  In  two  cases  the  percentage  of  fat  is  some- 
what low. 

Hunter  Brothers  Milling  Co.'s  Hominy  Feed  is  guaranteed 
ii.o  per  cent,  of  protein  and  y.y  of  fat.  The  average  of  the 
two  samples  examined  is  10.68  protein  and  8.58  fat. 

Miner-Hilliard  Milling  Co.'s  Steam  Cooked  Star  Chop  has 
a  guaranty  of  9  per  cent,  protein  and  6  per  cent,  fat,  and  one 
lot  has  a  guaranty  of  10  per  cent,  protein  and  7.5  of  fat.  The 
average  of  five  analyses  is  10.3  per  cent,  of  protein  and  6.58 
per  cent,  of  fat. 

W.  W.  Payne  &  Sons  Hominy  Chop  has  a  guaranty  of  11 
per  cent,  protein  and  8  per  cent.  fat.  The  average  composition, 
calculated  from  four  analyses,  is  10.84  P^^*  cent,  protein  and 
y.y  per  cent.  fat. 

The  average  of  all  the  thirty-seven  analyses  made  on  samples 
drawn  in  the  late  fall  of  1904  is  10.3  per  cent,  of  protein  and 
7.6  per  cent,  of  fat.

Malt  Sprouts. 
Analyses  on  pages  46  and  47. 

Four  analyses  are  given  in  the  table.  None  of  the  lots  of 
this  feed  has  the  statement  of  guaranty  which  is  required  by 
law. 

No.  13021  has  a  low  percentage  of  protein,  due  probably  to 
admixture  of  malt  and  oats. 

Dried  Distillery  Grains. 
Analyses  on  pages  46  and  47. 

This  is  the  residue  left  from  cereals  from  which  most  of  the 
starch  has  been  extracted  by  treatment  with  malt  and  washing. 
What  is  left  after  this  treatment  is  dried  and  sold  as  a 
cattle  food.  While  the  cereal  grains  contain  not  more  than  lo 
to  12  per  cent,  of  protein,  the  dried  distillery  grains  contain 
three  times  that  amount. 

The  question  is  frequently  asked  regarding  this  material,  and 
the  gluten  meals  and  feeds,— How  can  a  part  of  a  grain  contain 
more  protein  than  the  whole  of  it?  It  cannot,  of  course,  con- 
tain more  pounds  of  protein,  but  it  often  contains  a  higher 
percentage  of  protein.  An  illustration  may  make  this  clear. 
Suppose  we  have  a  grain  containing  74  per  cent,  of  starch,  10 
of  protein,  10  of  water  and  6  of  other  matters,  and  by  a  chemi- 
cal process  we  remove  from  it  one-half  of  the  starch  and  leave 
the  residue  as  dry  as  before. 

The  operation  will  run  as  follows : 

In  the  grain  originally.  Taken  out.  Left  in  the  residue. 

Weight.  Weight.  Weight. 

Pounds.  Per  cent.  Pounds.  Pounds.  Per  cent.

100  TOO  41-14  58.86  100. o 

By  comparing  the  sum  of  the  weights  in  the  third  and  fourth 
columns  it  appears  that  nothing  has  been  lost  from  or  added 
to  the  hundred  pounds  of  grain. 

After  removing  the  starch,  the  by-product  or  residue  only 
weighs  in  this  case  a  little  over  58  pounds.  It  contains,  how- 
ever,  all   of  the  protein   which   was   in    100  pounds   of  grain

originally.  It  is  clear  that  if  the  protein  from  lOO  pounds  of 
grain  is  gathered  into  a  product  which  weighs  only  58  pounds, 
then  this  product,  pound  for  pound,  will  contain  more  protein 
than  the  original  grain.  This  is  equivalent  to  saying  that  it 
has  a  higher  percentage,  as  appears  above.  The  grain  con- 
tains 10  per  cent.,  but  the  by-product  contains   17.3  per  cent. 

Ajax  Flakes,  sold  by  Chapin  &  Co.,  is  the  only  brand  of 
distillery  grains  which  has  been  found  this  year  in  the  state. 
It  consists  mainly  of  a  corn  product  with  some  barley. 

The  average  percentages  of  protein  and  fat  found  in  the  four 
samples  examined  are  32.09  protein  and  14.13  fat.  The  former 
is  about  I  per  cent,  below  the  guaranty,  the  latter  is  about 
2  per  cent,  higher  than  the  guaranty. 

Dried  Brezuers  Grains. 

A  single  sample  of  this  feed,  No.  11538,  sent  by  W.  O.  Burr,

The  term  provender  was  formerly,  and  in  country  places  is 
still,  used  to  designate  a  ground  mixture  of  equal  weights  of 
corn  and  oats.     Next  to  corn  meal  it  is  probably  the  chief  pro- 
duct of  our  smaller  grist  mills. 

Forty  samples  of  this  feed  have  been  collected  and  analyzed. 
In  only  three  cases,  given  below,  are  the  goods  sold  with  a

Various  Corn  and  Oat  Feeds. 
Analyses  on  pages  48-51. 

These  are  sold  under  a  variety  of  trade  names  and  consist  of 
factory  by-products,  among  them  considerable  oat  hulls.  The 
protein  in  them  ranges  from  7.25  to  9.62. 

All  of  them  bear  guaranties  of  composition,  which  appear  in 
the  tables  of  analyses. 

The  Buffalo  Cereal  Co.'s  Corn  and  Oat  Chop,  and  the  Boss 
Oat  Feed,  fully  meet  the  manufacturers'  guaranty. 

The  composition  of  De-Fi  Corn  and  Oat  Feed  and  Haskell's 
Stock  Feed  is  in  substantial  agreement  with  their  guaranties, 
while  Victor  Corn  and  Oat  Feed,  Dickinson's  Stock  Food, 
Monarch  Chop  Feed  and  Lenox  Stock  Feed  have  considerably 
less  protein  than  is  called  for  by  their  guaranties. 

Corn  and  Wheat  Feeds. 
Analyses  on  pages  50  and  51. 

Colonial  Wheat  Middlings,  made  by  the  Miner-Hilliard  Mill- 
ing Co.,  Wilkesbarre,  Penn.,  is  a  mixture  of  corn  and  wheat 
products  containing  no  undue  proportion  of  cob  and  in  composi- 
tion substantially  meets  its  guaranty. 

"Jersey"  Mixed  Feed  claims  to  be  a  mixture  of  "winter 
wheat  bran,  winter  wheat  shipstuff  and  corn  and  cob  meal." 
"A  perfect  ration."  It  is  made  by  the  Indiana  Milling  Co.  of 
Terre  Haute,  Ind.,  which  makes  the  wheat  feed  noticed  on 
page  14,  and  in  composition  the  two  are  not  very  unlike. 

This  brand  is,  however,  sold  with  a  statement  of  composi- 
tion and  a  guaranty  which  it  substantially  meets.  The  rela- 
tively high  percentage  of  fiber  indicates  the  admixture  of  cob. 

"Dairy  Mixed  Feed"  is  sold  in  packages  bearing  tags  with 
precisely  the  same  statements  given  with   "Jersey"   mixed  feed,

This  material,  of  which  there  is  a  good  deal  to  be  had  in 
any  apple  year,  is  well  worth  housing  and  feeding  to  cattle. 
Attention  was  called  to  it  in  the  report  of  this  Station  for  1888. 
Mr.  J.  H.  Dickerman  of  Mt.  Carmel  has  fed  it  to  both  horses 
and  cattle  with  good  results.  Its  value  as  silage  has  been 
studied  at  the  Vermont  Station,  which  says  regarding  it  in  Bulle- 
tin 96 : 

"The  experience  of  four  years  with  apple  pomace  silage,  at 
this  station,  using  over  twenty  cows,  is  a  unit  in  affirming  the 
nearly  equivalent  —  if  not,  indeed,  quite  equivalent — feeding 
values  of  apple  pomace  and  corn  silage.  No  undesirable  results 
whatsoever  have  followed  its  use.  Cows  continuously  and 
heartily  fed  have  not  shrunk,  but  on  the  contrary  have  held  up 
their  milk  flows  remarkably  well.  Neither  does  the  milk  nor 
the  butter  seem  injured  in  any  respect.  Inasmuch,  however, 
as  reports  of  severe  shrinkage  occurring  coincident  with  the 
use  of  apple  pomace  are  current,  care  is  advised  in  feeding  it 
at  the  outset. 

Apple  pomace  needs  no  special  care  in  ensiling.  If  levelled 
from  time  to  time  as  put  into  the  silo  and  left  to  itself  uncovered 
and  unweighted  it  does  well.  Fifteen  pounds  a  day  per  cow 
has  been  fed  at  this  station  with  entire  satisfaction."

duct made  by  drying  the  sugar  beet  "chips"  from  which  the 
sugar  has  been  extracted  by  repeated  soaking  in  water.  The 
analysis  is  as  follows :

THE  DIGESTIBILITY  OF  FEEDING-STUFFS. 

A  certain  part  of  every  feeding-stuff  is  indigestible  and 
passes^  through  the  body  into  the  dung  without  doing  anything 
to  sustain  the  animal.  The  value  of  a  commercial  feed  rests 
wholly  in  that  portion  of  it  which  the  animal  can,  under  favor- 
able conditions,  digest  or  appropriate  and  make  a  part  of  itself. 
Some  animals  have  greater  power  of  digestion  than  others,  and 
the  amount  of  any  ingredient,  protein,  fat,  or  fiber,  digested  by 
a  given  animal  depends  much  on  the  proportion  of  other  ingre- 
dients which  are  fed  along  with  it.  Thus,  if  starchy  matter  is 
fed  in  too  large  proportion,  a  considerable  part  of  it  will  pass 
into  the  dung  and  be  wasted.  But  fed  in  proper  fashion  over 
90  per  cent,  of  it  may  be  taken  up  by  the  body  and  nourish  it. 

Table  I  gives  the  "digestion  coefficients"  of  most  of  the 
feeds  mentioned  in  Table  IV. 

The  digestion  coefficient  of  protein,  for  example,  in  cotton 
seed  meal  is  88.  This  means  that  in  a  properly  made  ration, 
neat  cattle,  in  good  health,  may  be  expected,  on  the  average,  to 
digest  about  88  parts  out  of  every  loo  parts  of  the  protein  of 
cotton  seed  meal  of  good  quality.  The  table  has  no  great 
mathematical  precision,  but  is,  nevertheless,  a  valuable  general 
guide  in  feeding. 

The  use  of  the  table  is  quite  simple.  Suppose  analysis  shows 
a  certain  sample  of  cotton  seed  meal  to  contain  43.5  per  cent, 
of  protein ;  that  is,  43.5  pounds  of  protein  in  100  pounds  of  the 
meal.  It  is  desired  to  know  how  much  digestible  protein  is 
contained  in  100  pounds  of  meal.  The  table  of  "digestion 
coefficients"  shows  that  of  every  100  pounds  of  crude  protein 
in  cotton  seed  meal  88  pounds  are  digestible.  It  follows  by  the 
rule  of  three  (100  is  to  88  as  43.5  is  to  38.28),  that  of  the  43.5 
pounds  of  protein  38.28  pounds  are  digestible.     To  apply  the

table,  multiply  the  percentage  found  on  analysis  by  the  proper 
coefficient  taken  from  the  table  and  divide  the  product  by  lOO. 
The  result  will  be  the  percentage  amount  of  digestible  protein, 
fiber,  etc.,  as  the  case  may  be. 

In  Table  IV,  under  the  averages  of  analyses,  will  be  found 
calculated  the  average  digestible  nutrients  contained  in  the  dif- 
ferent feeding-stuffs,  so  far  as  the  data  at  hand  permit.

REGARDING   THE  PURCHASE   OF   COMMERCIAL 
FEEDING-STUFFS. 

A  well-managed  dairy  farm  should  produce  all  of  the  coarse 
fodder, — in  form  of  corn  fodder  or  stover,  hay  and  ensilage, — 
which  is  needed  for  the  stock,  and,  excepting  under  unusual 
conditions,  should  also  supply  an  abundance  of  starchy  food, 
such  as  corn  meal  and  in  some  cases  oats  and  barley,  for 
feeding  purposes. 

These  the  farmer  should  be  able  to  produce  in  abundance. 

But  in  order  to  feed  them  without  waste  and  also  to  supply 
a  deficiency  in  them,  it  is  almost  always  advisable  or  neces- 
sary, in  the  absence  of  clover,  alfalfa,  or  other  leguminous 
crops,  to  buy  feeds  rich  in  digestible  protein; — considerably 
richer  in  it  than  corn  meal.     It  is  the  object  of  this  bulletin  to 

*Mentzel  and  Lengerke.  f  Assumed  same  as  H.  O.  Dairy  Feed.

THE    PURCHASE   OF    COMMERCIAL    FEEDING-STUFFS.  29 

show   what   feeds   there   are   in   our  market   which   meet   this 
demand  for  digestible  protein. 

Table  II  is  a  summary  of  Table  IV,  and  shows,  first,  the 
average  composition  of  the  feeds  whose  analyses  are  given  in 
that  table,  arranged  according  to  the  per  cent,  of  protein  in 
them;  second,  the  amount  of  digestible  matter  in  each,  so 
far  as  we  have  been  able  to  calculate  it ;  and  third,  the  average 
retail  prices  of  feeds  in  October  and  November  last.  The  table 
divides  the  commercial  feeds  on  the  market  into  five  classes, 
according  to  the  quantities  of  protein  in  them. 

1.  Those  having  over  30  per  cent,  of  protein — cotton  seed, 
the  linseed  and  gluten  meals,  distillery  grains  and  buckwheat 
middlings.     The  average  cost  of  them  is  about  $28.68  per  ton. 

2.  Those  having  between  20  and  30  per  cent,  of  protein — 
most  of  the  gluten  feeds  and  malt  sprouts.  Their  average  cost 
is  about  $27.40  per  ton. 

3.  Feeds  having  between  15  and  20  per  cent,  of  protein — 
the  wheat  feeds,  rye  feeds  and  some  proprietary  feeds.  The 
average  cost  of  this  group  is  about  $26.40. 

4.  Feeds  having  between  10  and  15  per  cent,  of  protein — 
hominy  feed,  ground  oats  and  many  proprietary'  feeds.  The 
average  cost  is  $26.45. 

5.  Feeds  having  less  than  10  per  cent,  of  protein.  Here  be- 
long corn  meal,  provender  and  all  the  low  grade  "stock  feeds" 
and  "corn  and  oat"  feeds.  The  average  cost  of  this  group  is 
$25.61. 

This  table  brings  out  strikingly  the  fact  that  the  prices  of 
feeds  stand  in  no  just  relation  to  their  feeding  value.  Thus,  a 
mixture  of  low  grade  corn  or  corn  meal  with  oat  refuse,  etc., 
and  containing  less  than  9  per  cent,  of  protein,  costs — and  is 
actually  bought  by  Connecticut  farmers  for — only  $3.00  less 
per  ton  than  a  feed  having  more  than  30  per  cent,  of  protein. 

In  most  cases  a  feeder  cannot  use  to  advantage  any  boughten 
feed  containing  less  than  15  per  cent,  of  protein. 

Ready  mixed  feeds,  made  of  a  number  of  by-products  or 
factory  wastes  may  wisely  be  let  alone,  unless  the  buyer  can 
see  for  himself  out  of  just  what  raw  material  the  mixture  is 
being  prepared.  Low  grade,  damaged  corn,  shriveled  wheat, 
peanut  refuse  and  wheat  screenings  consisting  largely  of  weed 
seeds,  are  not  infrequently  found  in  such  feeds  by  careful 
examination,  but  are  not  easy  for  the  buyer  himself  to  recognize.
